why give second chances? for what? to do the same thing again? i guess that's not appropriate. and if he says he wants to make things right, and not to cheat again, then [b]why on earth did he do (cheating) that in the first place?[/b] every person is responsible for his actions and he must take the consequences of whatever action he made. all of us have choices and decisions to make,.. love is not an excuse in cheating.. if he says that he did that thing because he loves the other girl, then why did he engaged himself on a relationship with you? as what [b]glamour[/b] said., ONCE a cheater, ALWAYS a cheater. he can never be trusted again..because people tend to have the impression that he is a cheater right? also in psych,, PEOPLE tend to notice the BAD SIDE that the GOOD SIDE. so there is no point in erasing in the minds of the people that the person is a cheater.. ^^, `hope i made sense here.. lol`
